• Troubleshoot escalated systems and endpoint issues.
• Diagnose complex issues that cross technical domains and organizational boundaries.
• Support capacity planning, performance analysis, patching, upgrades, technology refresh, and end-of-life planning.

• Support classified enclave and cross-domain solution configurations, VTC endpoint integration, and coordination with facility security officers (FSOs) to ensure endpoint compliance within SCIF and SAP environments.

FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS

• Systems-engineering lifecycle principles and requirements management.
• System decomposition, integration, interfaces, dependencies, and traceability.
• Compute, operating system, storage, virtualization, container, and cloud fundamentals.
• Identity, authentication, authorization, encryption, and security-control integration.
• Networking and distributed-systems fundamentals.
• Reliability, availability, maintainability, resilience, backup, and recovery principles.
• Configuration, change, release, incident, and problem management.
• Verification, validation, test planning, and acceptance criteria.
• Automation, scripting, configuration management, and infrastructure-as-code concepts.
• Performance analysis, capacity planning, and technical risk management.
